Titanium and Zirconium Castings

From ATI Wah Chang
 

 

In 1957,Oregon Metallurgical Corporation (Oremet), Albany, Oregon, built the world 's first titanium casting foundry. In 1991,Oremet and Wah Chang, a reactive metals manufacturer, collaborated on a project that produced what was then the world 's largest cast zirconium pump casing for severe-service CPI equipment. Today, Oremet (now called Allvac-Oremet)is a sister company of Wah Chang (both are subsidiaries of Allegheny Technologies, Inc. (ATI)), and is still the world leader in rammed-graphite, titanium and zirconium castings.

Products & Services
Nonferrous metals and nonferrous alloys are not based on iron and include alloys of aluminum, copper, titanium, zinc, nickel, cobalt, tungsten, precious metals, refractory metals. Learn more about Nonferrous Metals and Alloys
Master alloys and alloying additives are alloy element concentrates, grain refiners, hardeners, deoxidants and other agents added into a melt or metal powder blend to produce a particular alloy, modify a melt or alter processing characteristics. Learn more about Master Alloys and Alloying Additives
Tungsten and tungsten alloys are refractory metal or alloys with a very high melting point and high density. Tungsten and tungsten alloys are used to fabricate light bulb filaments, PVD evaporation crucibles, EDM electrodes, and electrical contacts.
